Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Generally speaking, the damage caused by musket bullets to demons can be recovered from almost quickly by the demons themselves. However, this time, all the bullets were made of special gorilla-colored iron. It should be noted that gorilla-colored iron, which can absorb sunlight, is the material used to forge Nichirin Blades.

Moreover, every single bullet was coated with wisteria flower toxin.

Both the firearms and the specially made bullets were provided by the government through the mediation of 'Ubuyashiki'.

Upon seeing Kagaya Ubuyashiki approach, every swordsman straightened their backs, their eyes filled with excitement.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki had so much to say at that moment, but in the end, he simply raised his hand: "Tonight, the demons will be exterminated."

"Set off."

Armed with blades and carrying guns, the swordsmen moved with incredible speed towards the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters.

…………

Yoshiwara Yukaku area

A room exuding a peculiar aura. Occasionally, ghosts would rush from afar toward the battlefield, always ignoring this room, seemingly oblivious to its existence.

Inside the room, a gentle woman with her hair styled in a bun was silently looking at the reagent in her hand. Not far away, the petite Shinobu Kocho stood in front of the window, constantly looking up into the distance.

"Quack quack..."

The kasuri-otoko-zakura fluttered its wings and landed. Shinobu Kocho quickly took the letter, read its contents, and almost immediately picked up the Nichirin Blade hanging on the wall. Then she turned back and glanced at Tamayo:

"The day of revenge is today."

Tamayo nodded and whispered:

"Blood Demon Art: Invisibility Talisman"

Almost instantly, Tamayo's figure vanished from the spot.

Shinobu Kocho opened her eyes wide.

"gone."

A gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Shinobu Kocho then realized that Tamayo had probably used a Blood Demon Art similar to stealth, which was the key to getting close to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Silently bowing her head, Shinobu looked at the reagent in her hand.

This was her and Tamayo's research over a long period of time, starting with the idea of ​​turning demons into humans. Although they ultimately failed to develop a potion to turn demons into humans, they did develop the ability to completely suppress demons, suppress all blood demon arts, and the ability of demons to regenerate and recover.

There are two such reagents in total.

Tamayo had one in her hand.

She also had a copy.

Chapter 290 The End

Following Kasugai's instructions, Shinobu Kocho arrived at Yoshiwara Yukata in time.

Under the moonlight, the once bustling and prosperous Yoshiwara pleasure district has become a scene of purgatory, with a foul stench permeating the air and corpses piled up on the ground, some of them ghosts, others of swordsmen.

Bright red blood flowed across the ground, turning the area crimson.

The brutal battle scene made Butterfly unconsciously clench her teeth.

As a demon slayer, Shinobu Kocho has witnessed far too many horrific scenes. She even saw a demon devour her parents when she was young.

But the scene before her still sent chills down Shinobu's spine.

However, as a demon slayer, Shinobu Kocho was shocked by the horrific scene before her, but she was not incapable of coping.

Shinobu's hatred for demons is enough to sustain her in facing any terrifying scene.

Even when he noticed the swordsmen under the protection of Himejima Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, and Shinazugawa Sanemi, and saw their wounds, he was already considering how to treat their injuries in the shortest possible time.

This is the duty of a 'Butterfly House' healer; many swordsmen die because they do not receive timely treatment during battle.

However, Shinobu's gaze quickly froze.

She noticed the two demons fighting in the arena.

Although she had never seen Muzan Kibutsuji, Shinobu Kocho understood almost immediately from the first glance that the monster with a full head of white hair, limbs and lower body covered in blood and hair, and a huge mouth with sharp teeth was Muzan Kibutsuji.

But why does the other ghost seem so familiar?

Yet... it feels so unfamiliar.

A truth she didn't want to admit suddenly exploded in Shinobu's mind. It felt so unreal, and she couldn't believe that the person she liked and cared about... was a demon.

My hands suddenly started trembling.

The wind picked up at that moment, carrying the stench of the dead demons from the battlefield, and the girl's beautiful purple eyes instantly welled up with tears.

He stared blankly at the person, or rather the demon, being suppressed by Muzan Kibutsuji.

At this moment, Muzan Kibutsuji had gained an absolute advantage, launching relentless attacks that tore at Su Mu's flesh every second. More importantly, he was continuously exerting control over Su Mu.

Perhaps, after a while, we will be able to restrain Su Mu.

"What a perfect body."

Muzan Kibutsuji lashed out with another whip, severing Su Mu's last struggling hand. Before Su Mu's new arm could grow back, Muzan quickly took control of it and sighed.

Now, Su Mu's entire body is bound by unknown flesh and blood, his whole being like a cocoon wrapped in flesh and blood.

Su Mu felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire. No matter how much he struggled, it was of no use. He was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Even so, Su Mu did not give up resisting, but like a moth caught in a spider's web, its wings were entangled in the silk, and its struggles only grew weaker and weaker until it could no longer flap its wings.

No matter how much they struggle, they can't change their fate of becoming prey.

“Impressive. Over the years, you are the second ghost to break free from my control, and the first ghost to be able to fight against me for so long.”

Or rather, he was the only ghost that defied his will.

Muzan Kibutsuji also had many wounds on his body, his flesh and blood were covered, but even the wounds caused by the 'Crimson Blade' were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For demons like Muzan Kibutsuji and Su Mu, there's basically no need to worry about their injuries.

Looking at Su Mu, who was bound and unable to move, and thinking that what he had been pursuing for thousands of years would be realized in the other person, Muzan Kibutsuji could not hide his excitement.

Today, not only will what they have been pursuing for thousands of years be obtained from Su Mu, but even the Demon Slayer Corps, which has been harassing him for thousands of years and is thoroughly fed up with him, will come to an end today.

"Look..."

Muzan Kibutsuji raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

Under his command, countless demons surged forth, rushing towards the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. Although Gyomei Himejima, Kyojuro Rengoku, and Sanemi Shinazugawa provided support and blocked most of the demons, the remaining swordsmen were still unable to stop them and were being slaughtered one by one.

Not only these swordsmen, but also the likes of Ximing Island are in grave danger. Perhaps, they will soon be swallowed up by the tide of evil spirits.

"What a beautiful scene."

Muzan Kibutsuji stared at Su Mu with crimson eyes: "These are the so-called people, the people you protect, who will all come to an end here today."

"It's wonderful, isn't it?"

Su Mu raised his eyes, looked at Muzan Kibutsuji, and then looked around. Under the onslaught of the demons, one after another, the swordsmen who had lost their strength were pounced on by the demons and lost their breath amidst painful screams.

If it continues

For these swordsmen, death was the inevitable end.

Not only will these swordsmen die, but I myself am now bound by Muzan Kibutsuji, and may even be taken back by Muzan Kibutsuji for research.

What fate awaits him?

Perhaps, it will become a research subject for Muzan Kibutsuji, with its blood being drawn daily for study and its pieces being dissected for observation...

"I'm really in a bit of a mess!"

Thinking about the possible scenarios, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh softly.

However, he soon noticed Shinobu Kocho who had arrived. The petite girl was looking at him with her beautiful purple eyes glazed over.

You must find it hard to believe the truth that you are a ghost right now.

"it's all over."

Muzan Kibutsuji stared excitedly at the bound Su Mu, grabbed Su Mu's body with his own hands, and then looked at the people who were holding out the last against the demon attack: Gyomei Himejima, Kyojuro Rengoku, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Tanjiro, Giyu Tomioka, Mitsuri Kanroji...

All the annoying things will end today. After that, all I need to do is go back and study this perfect body in peace, study the secret of how it can bask in the sunlight, until I can too...

Thinking that what he had longed for for thousands of years was about to be realized, Muzan Kibutsuji felt his blood boiling.

"Blood Demon Art: Manlianhua"

Su Mu, who was being controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji, suddenly spoke at this moment.

The next second, more than ten ice vines wrapped with ice lotus flowers suddenly appeared under Muzan Kibutsuji's feet, binding him almost instantly.

"Heh... It's Douma's Blood Demon Art again."

With a shudder, Muzan Kibutsuji shattered all the ice vines binding his body.

In the beginning, he was injured by Su Mu using Douma's Blood Demon Art, but now, to think he can use Douma's Blood Demon Art against him is truly wishful thinking.

but

immediately

Muzan Kibutsuji felt a sudden, sharp pain in his chest as a cold hand pierced through it.

It turns out that the so-called 'Blood Demon Art: Mandala' was just a cover.

At that moment, Muzan Kibutsuji pierced through the chest of the person with his palm.

Her jet-black hair was styled in an updo, adorned with a delicate flower hair clip. Her eyes were like a thin layer of light purple mist, her skin was as pale as snow, and her lips were rosy.

She wore a deep purple kimono embroidered with flowers and red floral patterns, and a wide beige sash around her waist.

Her slender figure outlined the gentle curves of a woman.

Tamayo

The first ghost to betray him.

The first ghost to break free from his control.
